Gateway to Heaven (www.gatewaytoheaven.co.uk) is a play based entirely on the memories of older lesbians and gay men, written by Clare Summerskill and performed by her own company ARTEMIS. Its stories are an eye-opener to a period in this country in which lesbians and gay men were significantly more constrained, both legally and socially, than they are today. The New Statesman has called the piece “an immaculately performed play”. Age Concern has commissioned a film of Gateway to Heaven, available now in a DVD set – comprising a full-length version (56 mins) and highlights (23 mins). The DVD set is FREE for the first order, £5 for each additional set. Available from: Age Concern Mail Order or 020 8765 7203 Gateway to Heaven is the latest addition to Age Concern’s programme of events and resources for and about older lesbians, gay men and bisexuals. You can find out more about the programme at: www.ageconcern.org.uk/openingdoors
If you are organising a public event, don't forget to tell the local press. Mavis Seaman, General Manager of the Drill Hall London, has given us some useful advice on writing a press release (Word document).
